ekt3 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Current dual-faction Masters (excluding TT) Tara - Outcast/Reser McMourning - Reser/Guild Lucius - Guild/Neverborn Zoradia - Neverborn/Gremlin If you had to make a new dual-faction master, what factions would you want it to be from? What mechanics/models would you want it to use/synergize with? What new models would you create to do it? I'd love to see an Arcanist/Gremlin Master and have Sparks dual-faction into it. They could create some sort of terrifying Gremlin Abomination born of "failed" experiments. Also, Gremlin/Pig centaurs! Grempigs! Steam Arachnid/Pig? SPIDERPIGS!!! Think of the (terrifying) possibilities?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I hesitate to jump into this, as I'm not sure the game is ready for additional Masters. I hope that they wait with introducing more Masters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind that you don't agree, but I created this thread so I could share ideas and hopefully foster ideas in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said... I'd like an Outcast/Arcanist mad scientist with a lightning theme. And a Guild/Gremlin. Just for the hell of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannibalBob Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think it would be cool to see a Gremlin/Ressurectionist master. Like Papa Grombi. Since Ulix is basically a master version of a slop hauler I think a Gremlin/Resser master could be based on a Taxidermist. I like the idea of zombie gremlins.

CannibalBob Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Could a Lacroix sibling want vengeance on their more successful sibling and sell out to the guild? Maybe, but the absurd thing is the guild actually giving any gremlins employment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phinn Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 These are all the possible combinations left: Guild/Arcanists Guild/Outcasts Guild/Gremlins Resurrectionists/Arcanists Resurrectionists/Neverborn Resurrectionists/Gremlins Arcanists/Neverborn - Arcanists/Outcasts Arcanists/Gremlins Neverborn/Outcasts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekt3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 These are all the possible combinations left: Arcanists/Neverborn - I hope that in the next book they make him a thing. I was super excited to see him but then was saddened that he was an "alt version". I'd hope that he could use Woes and sad Penguins to push people around like Colette. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Some of those combinations are difficult to justify though. Like Guild/Arcasnist. It would probably have to be a double agent like Lucius or Dr. McMourning is. I know we are discussing dual masters, but... I would really like to see Outcast band of Gypsies - relatives of Zoraida that came through the second breach. Models would have Puri Daj Zoraida (Grandmother Zoraida) Ability: This model may be hired by Crew lead by Zoraida regardless of faction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekt3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 These are all the possible combinations left: Resurrectionists/Arcanists This could be Professor Von Schtook (The Valedictorian's Master), and he could make use of the Academic model type. He'd probably also like construct-y undead like the Necropunks and Flesh Constructs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekt3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Some of those combinations are difficult to justify though. Like Guild/Arcasnist. It would probably have to be a duble agent like Lucius or Dr. McMourning is. But if you recall, Hoffman in the first book was almost the first incarnation of a Dual Master. It's not too much of a stretch, though I definitely understand where you're coming from. It would be hard without relying on the "double-agent" trope. Maybe he could be a construct designer for the guild? Surely they get them from somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly IS Zoraida's fluff? I know that she was human and "became" Neverborn, but is there any fluff about her family? Because that would be super cool.

It clear she arrived in Malifaux before the current human population, either during the time of the first Breach, or some other time.

ekt3 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Why do you think he'd be an Arcanist? I'd like to see a master take advantage of the Academic model type. I feel it makes the most sense because while he is a necromancer, all of his Students are Constructs. Which faction loves constructs? Guild! Arcanists!

Dirial Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 But if he was Arcanist/Resser, the only out-of-faction Academic is the Librarian. Also, I cannot see Schtook's connection to the Arcanist cause. Seems just like a Resser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't finished all the books yet, but as far as I know her past prior to to the point when she crossed the breach is uknown. And the only thing I know about her youth is that her and Lilith know each other since then and that, according to Lilith, she used to be gorgeous. And looking at her Avatar I have to agree But if you recall, Hoffman in the first book was almost the first incarnation of a Dual Master.

If there ever will be Guild/Arcanist Master, it should be Hoffman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
